  I am a consistent player of the GA Lottery Cash 4 and Keno. Last year I was winning at least 2-3 times a week min of $25.

  This year I only win little dribs of money here and there and a free ticket every now and then when I get a scratch off, usually the scratches produce nothing.

  My friend says the Lottery commission really needs money and is interfering somehow to make more revenue and i'm wasting my money.

  I know that can't be true but i've always known that when you really need to win money it never happens but usually does when you buy tickets and forget about them.

  Is anyone experiencing the same thing?

  When you go through a low, either by design or through luck, its time to back off. There's nothing worse than having a winning streak then loosing everything later. Quit while you're ahead.

  Over the last 3 weeks I have missed more that $1500 by not playing on the right days. I had the numbers straight 3 different times but dropped them the day before they came in. On two of those occasions it was the only day of the week I did not play at all. Today, I played doubles only and doubled up on my few selections because I felt it was time. Doubles came, but I had the wrong side of the double, twice. So yes, right now it seems I am on the Titanic and all I can see are icebergs.

  Best of Luck Everyone!

   That's why I stop playing for a little while.

  i guess you're right, i don't work on thursdays and fridays this will give me an opportunity since i won't drive by the convenience store i always play at. However if I have to go to either Publix or Krogers it is impossible for me to not at least get a $1 scratch off.

  I will force myself to take some time off. I think I need to let my luck recharge.

  Rest assured, had you played those numbers they would not have come up.

  Play as many strategies as you can and I bet none of them work, but they day you decide not to play is when they will work

  Here, Here,  Ladies and Gents,

  I am currently riding the same boat.  I hate when I miss a # or was one number off.  I said that lately the lottory has been giving me nothing but heart ache and pain and a friend of mines laughed and joked about it. Stating If i am suffering from heart ache and pain then I must be married to the lottory.

  Wow,  gotta give it a break.  I hope things turn around for us all. Peace

  The only things in life that you regret are the risks that you didn't take.

  Same thing here in TX 4 me. 1-2 $STR8's a month P3 using your software, and the last 2 months nada.

  "THEY" want u 2.

  i too believe if enough people stop they will add more winners. there is a new scratch game here in GA called Aladdins Lamp, i go to quite a few stores and many of the them say they aren't getting any winners on this game. I hate cutting off totally because i enjoy playing, i just play a whole lot less now.

  Take the time to check the prize structure of scratch games before investing in them.  There can be a big difference in the number of available mid range prizes worth winning.   You should be able to compute an average number of tickets to buy attached that should capture some sort of prize. 
  
  Make sure you are getting tickets off the roll!!!
  
  Make sure the code hasn't already been scratched/exposed!!!

   I can relate.  I've played 517 for at least five or six weeks and the one day I decide not to play it falls!  I think I'll take a break for a while.
